I figure I'll go with what is used the most in Sweden.
I think all 3 brands is good as long as you get one with the at least enough power to do the jobs you have in mind.
One important thing when choosing a saw or brushcutter is your relation with the dealer and how far away (not fun with long trips if something is wrong or you just want to get advise from them). Always more fun if you at least get decent service and you get the impression of that they know what they are talking about.
Another thing is they can feel different in you hand so you might go around and try the different brands out, There is also the question if you want to use your thumb or finger to move the throttle.
When I chose to go with stihl (chainsaw and brushcutter) over husqvarna the dealer was the thing that tipped the scale.
And don't forget to use proper safety equipment, steel cap boots, ear protection, eye protection and helmet if what you cut it higher then 2m+.
Here we use ear protection, eye protection and helmet in one, haven't got the impression that's normal over there (?).
